Nestled behind a white picket fence and set back from the street, this stylish 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath beach cottage features tasteful upgrades throughout. The light-filled living room has hardwood floors and a fireplace with a stone hearth, and a separate den/seating area with exposed beams. Between the living room and the kitchen is a dining area with the same hardwood floors a chandelier, and ample room for cabinets or bureaus.

In the kitchen, granite counters, a double sink, wood cabinets, and white appliances provide a clean, crisp look; a small breakfast room off the kitchen provides additional dining options. A laundry area separates the kitchen from the master bedroom, which has wood floors, a ceiling fan, and built-in shelving, as well as a door to the outdoor patio. The bath has unique decorative tile work and a shower/tub. A second bedroom has wood floors, a recessed alcove, corner windows, and built-in drawers and closet space. A half bath has more distinctive mosaic tile work around the sink and windowsill.

Outside, a sunny and spacious deck is surrounded by trees for privacy and greenery, but let’s in plenty of sunshine. A detached garage behind the house has extra storage, a workbench, and a tiki-themed bar area/game room.

Just steps from the beach, this upgraded and well-maintained home is a perfect and stylish getaway, conveniently close but still private, protected by trees on all sides.

A coveted beach neighborhood, this is a street where you can walk directly to the beach entrance and onto the sand without cars or traffic.
